This Egg Snack Container That Upgrades Lunchtime
I've been making an effort to eat healthier since I had my son, and while it can be tough to make good choices (because donuts exist), one food I can always count on to fill me up and not make me regret everything is hardboiled eggs. This egg container keeps my precious eggs safe and even has a spot for a mini salt shaker!These Cable Clips That Organize Your Space
I work from home, and if my office space is a mess (which it usually is), I find it much harder to be productive.

Now I have no excuse not to get work done!This Scrub Brush That Cleans Knives In A Whole New Way
Here's a shocking statement: I hate doing dishes. In fact, I hate it so much that I avoid doing it for much longer than I should.

This scrub brush is specifically designed to clean knives in a flash and lets you keep all your fingers.This Dishwasher Clutch That Keeps Little Things Safe While Cleaning
I have a 7-month-old baby, so the amount of stuff that needs washing in my house is always insanely high.

Luckily, a Mom friend told me about this dishwasher basket, which holds an assortment of smaller items so they stay safe and clean.These Dryer Balls That Save You Money And Reduce Waste
I'm a sucker for anything cute. If a product is even slightly adorable I usually end up buying it. The problem is, this means that all of my drawers are filled useless junk. (I know.

They save me money on dryer sheets, keep my clothes static-free, and look ridiculously cute doing it.This Portable Door Lock That Gives You Peace Of Mind While Traveling

However, no matter how often I travel, I still get nervous about something happening while I'm so far away from home. This portable door lock gives me peace of mind on my adventures.This Flexible Sink Caddy That Sends Gross Sponges Packing
My husband has a personal vendetta against sponges. He refuses to use them every time I buy them, claiming that they immediately start smelling mildewy and therefore make all of our dishes smell like mildew. I can't say I disagree with him. This caddy hangs from the faucet so it keeps it out of the sink and therefore doesn't stink. Why wasn't this thing invented sooner?!These Silicone Finger Point Bookmarks That Are Oh-So Handy

This would the perfect gift for the reader in your life.This Garlic Peeler That Has A Brilliant Design

It peels a clove in an instant and your hands don't smell like garlic afterward. Not that that would be a bad thing, necessarily...These Acne Patches That Pulverize Pimples
I have horrible skin.

These acne patches shrink blemishes overnight and I wake up with clearer skin, which always puts me in a much better mood for the rest of the day.This Foot Massager That Soothes Aching Feet

Sure, every other part of my body felt awful, but at least my feet felt great for those last few months!This Hair Detailer That's A Must-Have For Pet Owners
I have an extremely active 5-year-old Blue Heeler, and while you may not be able to tell just by looking at her, she sheds roughly 5 pounds of dog hair every hour. Our house is constantly covered in tumbleweeds of fur, and no matter how often we vacuum I feel like I always have stray hairs all over every outfit. This hair detailer is somehow able to remove even the most stubborn dog hair in an instant. I don't know how it works, but I cannot live without it.This Can Colander That's Simple Yet Ingenious
I have a signature chili recipe that I make almost once per week when the weather turns frightful. There's nothing better than a hot bowl of chili on a cold winter day!

And did I mention it costs under $5 bucks?!These Fruit Fly Traps That Solve An Annoying Problem
Every summer, our house becomes infested with fruit flies. If we leave out a single piece of fruit for more than an hour, suddenly there are millions of them and they're impossible to get rid of. That is, until now, thanks to these amazing fruit fly traps. We leave them in strategic spots throughout our kitchen and those poor little guys don't know what hit them.This Ring Size Adjuster That's Cheap And Easy
My hands tend to swell up a lot during the summer and shrivel in the cooler months, which, as you might imagine, makes it difficult to find a ring that will actually stay on my finger year-round. That's what makes this ring size adjuster such a game-changer for me. I can make it smaller during the winter and take it off during the summer. No more swollen fingers or fear of losing my wedding ring!This Cheese Pan That Will Change Your Whole Life
Is there any type of food that is not made better by pouring melted cheese on top of it? Probably, but I would argue that most foods are enhanced by it. This pan allows you to melt cheese right on the grill and drizzle it over whatever you want to become even more delicious. Where has this thing been all my life?!These Grill Lights Are Perfect For Serious Grillers
Sometimes, the mood strikes for a hot, smokey grilled meal after the sun has already set. And since it's not easy (or wise) to grill in pitch darkness, these grill lights are the perfect solution.

He even used them in the middle of a Wisconsin blizzard!These Cable Protectors That Keep Your Chargers Strong
I am notorious for breaking my phone chargers. They always start to fray around the plug and it's not long before the entire cord is split.

They fit right over the spot that ends up breaking and have managed to keep my cord intact for over a year.This Sink Squeegee & Counter Brush That Will Make You Throw Out Your Sponges

The minute I saw this fancy anti-sponge, I knew it would be right up her alley. I suppose I should probably get myself one as well...This Fancy Whisk That Makes You Feel Like A Kitchen Pro
I have a bit of an obsession with nifty kitchen gadgets. If I come across something that has multiple functions or make my life easier while cooking I buy it immediately.

The six unique shapes are just as fun for adults as they are for kiddos.This Shower Organizer That Holds Your Cleaning Essentials
For far too many years, my husband and I simply stacked our bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and various other soaps and lotions along the edge of the bathtub. This resulted in no less than five bottles falling into the bottom of the tub every time we showered. I finally got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and bought one of these shower organizers, and it totally upgraded my showering experience. This thing is popular so it goes out of stock decently frequently. If you can't get the above, I also recommend this one!This DeFogger Sponge That Has Gotten Me Out Of A Jam Many Times
My old car had a horrible problem where the windshield would fog up every morning regardless of the wear or humidity level.

Just wipe it across the inside of the shield and you won't have to worry about condensation for the rest of your ride.This Car Tissue Holder That Upgrades Your Ride
I live in Wisconsin, and every winter, without fail, I get a horrible cold.

I always have a fresh tissue when I need it and I don't even have to take my eyes off the road to get one!These Dip Clips That Make Snack Time Less Messy
I take snack time seriously. In fact, there are many times when my entire meal consists of just one big snack. And one of the most important aspects of a good snack is the dip. Carrot sticks and Ranch dressing? Check. Tortilla chips and guac? Oh yeah. Queso cheese and...well...basically anything? I'm all over it. These dip clips allow me to enjoy my favorite foods without making a big ol' mess.These Oven Liners That Keep Your Stove Clean
Cleaning your oven is a horrible, horrible job, which is why I avoid it at all costs. And while there is that "self-cleaning" setting, every time I use it the entire house fills with smoke and I'm worried I'm about to burn it down. These oven liners fit perfectly on the bottom so they catch any crumbs, grease, and various juices and easily rinse off for easy clean-up. Genius!This Foot Stretcher That's Totally Addictive
Ever since I had my son, I've woken up each morning with crippling foot pain. It took me a while to realize that it was plantar fasciitis, which affects the tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot and feels like your feet are constantly being attacked by a million fire ants. This foot stretcher relieves the pain immediately so I can finally feel some relief.This Mold & Mildew Remover Gel That Does The Dirty Work For You
Remember what I said about my mother-in-law's immaculate house? I once noticed how clean and mildew-free the grout was in her shower and asked her what her trick was.

Now I can hand-address letters to people without it looking like a 10-year-old boy wrote it!This Posture Corrector That Saved My Back
My posture is, in a word, atrocious. I've always just naturally hunched over, and while I know it's not good for my back to do this, it's so much more comfortable than sitting up straight. This posture corrector forces me to do what I don't have the willpower to do on my own, and just a few hours a day has already made a huge difference.This Drawer Organizer for Cutlery That's Perfect For Small Kitchens
We have a tiny kitchen, and the limited drawer space is always in high demand. Our old utensil holder took up a ton of space, which meant that we were forced to store our larger kitchen tools in the cabinet above the fridge. Easy to access? I think not. This clever cutlery organizer takes up half the space so I no longer have to risk falling off a chair to grab a whisk.These Sticky Note Divider Tabs That Keep You Organized
I find it incredibly tough to stay organized. As someone who works from home and set their own schedule, it's very important that I stay productive and keep track of everything that needs to get done.

Now I have double the space without sacrificing any of my favorites!These Right Shears That Have A Totally Unique Design
My favorite part about the holidays has always been wrapping presents.

These Right Shears flip the script on traditional scissors and glide through paper without the cramp! Bring on those hard-to-wrap presents!These Clever Tongs That Are, Well, Clever

A word of warning, though: If you're a hot dog lover like my husband, try to avoid looking at one magnified to 120x. It's not pretty.This Teaspoon and Tablespoon Set That Has A Brilliant Design
I've had the same set of measuring spoons since college, and they're so old at this point that most of the measurements have worn off, meaning that I basically have to guess which one is the 1/3 tablespoon and which one is the 1/2 teaspoon. This might be why my baked goods always seem to turn out terribly. This teaspoon and tablespoon set has a brilliant design that slides to reveal the various amounts, meaning they ensure precise measurement and take up less space in your drawers.These Headrest Hooks That Keep My Purse And Car Clean
The floor of my car is always sticky. I don't know why this is, but it's because of this that I tend to prefer that my purse is not just tossed onto the floor every time I drive somewhere.

These headrest hooks keep it safe, secure, and (slightly) less sticky.This Batter Dispenser That's Ridiculously Handy

Thank goodness for this batter dispenser, which allows you to pour out the exact amount of batter needed into each tin without the mess than comes with scooping it in with a spoon.This Spill-Proof Ice Cube Tray That Makes WAY More Sense
Traditional ice cube trays are much more trouble than they're worth.

This spill-proof design is the design we've all been waiting for.This Heroclip That Has A Million Different Uses

I won't leave home without this thing!These Garden Gloves With Claws That Bring Out Your Inner Feline
When we first bought our house, I was both intrigued and intimidated by the two raised garden beds in the backyard.

She also gave me these awesome gardening gloves, which come with built-in claws so you can really sink your hands into the dirt. And yes, they also make me feel like a giant cat.These Monkey Hooks That Can Hang Anything Anywhere
Last year, I made a resolution to finally hang artwork and family photos around our house, which we'd lived in for a year already and had hardly anything on the walls. We have plaster walls, so I get nervous whenever I have to hang anything. A friend recommended I try out a pack of these Monkey Hooks, and I'll never go back to traditional nails. They create a tiny hole so you don't have to worry about patching, and don't require the use of a hammer.These Glasses Cleaners That Keep Lenses Smudge-Free
I recently realized that my vision is slipping and finally went to the eye doctor to get some reading glasses.

These handy cleaners wipe smudges from both sides of my lenses in one quick swoop.This Leaf Stripper That's Simple Yet Ingenius
I love being able to add fresh herbs to my favorite dishes. It's a great way to add a boost of fresh flavor without going overboard on salt, butter, or any other unhealthy additives.

This leaf stripper is the perfect solution.These No-Tie Shoelaces That Make Any Shoe A Slip-On

I made the switch a few years ago and I love being able to reduce my carbon footprint and have less useless trash taking up space in my house.This Hilarious Organizer That Keeps Track Of Your Passwords
I had a bit of a conundrum the other day. I decided it would be a good idea to keep a digital sticky note on my desktop that contained all my passwords, thinking this would make my life easier since I could access it whenever I spaced out on my log-in. But then my husband changed my computer password without telling me and then forgot what he changed it to. Now I have a physical place to store my passwords, which makes much more sense.This Detangler Brush That's A Must For Long, Thick Hair
I have very long, very thick hair that turns into a giant tangled mess every morning without fail.

My fellow crazy-haired pal recommended this detangling brush to me, claiming it "works wonders." I was skeptical, but then I tried it. Now, no other brush is ever allowed to even come near my hair again.This Ironing Board Caddy That Doesn't Take Up Space
I've never been the type of person to own an ironing board and iron. I always assumed that was something that actual grown-ups had (aka, my parents), and was perfectly fine with wearing wrinkled clothes if it meant I never had to learn how to iron a piece of clothing. But then, one day, as I looked down at my disheveled dress right before going to a friend's wedding, I realized it was time. Luckily, I found this ironing board caddy, which hangs on the back of your door so it takes up minimal space. Score!This Silicone Spout That's Perfect For Kitchen Klutzes
We've all done it: After spending hours cooking a delicious pot of soup, stew, or sauce on the stove, we, for some strange reason, think it's a good idea to pour it directly into a bowl and it spills all over the counter.

Last year, I made the (questionable) decision to host Thanksgiving at my house. For my in-laws. Of which there are many. And did I mention that I'm not the most confident cook? I'm not sure what I was thinking either. But thank goodness I found this veggie peeler on Amazon a few days before, which completely saved my life. I peeled roughly 500 potatoes in half the time it would have taken with a traditional one. I was thankful for this peeler this year! And wine.This Magnetic Spice Rack That I Recommend To Everyone
When you have a tiny kitchen as I do, the thought of trying to fit all of your spice bottles into it can be daunting.

She immediately sent me a link to this spice rack that attaches directly to my fridge, and my life has been forever changed ever since it arrived.This Shower Curtain Lock That Keeps Your Walls Dry
Here's something I didn't know until I owned a house: When drywall gets wet a lot, it starts to rot. And when it rots, it needs to be replaced by someone who actually knows what they're doing. This means calling in a contractor, which also means huge hourly rates. Instead of continuing to spray water all over my walls whenever we shower, I bought this shower curtain lock that keeps it in place. No more soaking wet walls!This Microwave Pasta Tray That Gives You Carbs ASAP
I love me some pasta. But when a craving strikes, I don't have the patience to wait for water to boil.

All you have to do is fill the container with water and pasta, pop it in the microwave, and you have pasta...."fasta".These Silicone Caps That Make Your Waterbottle Spill-Proof
I have a 7-month-old son, and a Mom friend gave me some of these silicone caps as part of my baby shower gift. At first, I was horribly confused. "Trust me, once he's old enough to hold a bottle of juice, you'll be glad you have these." She then told me a story about how her 3-year-old dropped a bottle of orange juice that had one of these caps on it in the backseat of their car without her knowledge and it stayed there for three months. Not one drop spilled.This Air Cork Wine Saver That Keeps Wine Fresh For Twice As Long
Not only is this wine saver incredibly cute (check out that adorable little bunch of grapes!) but it also keeps your wine fresh for twice as long as it would without it. Having an infant makes it difficult to find time to enjoy a glass of wine, so often my husband and I will buy a bottle and half of it will go to waste. This handy gadget allows us to drop 20 bucks on a bottle and not feel like we're wasting our money.This Instant Pot Egg Steamer Trivet That Cooks Eggs Perfectly Every Time
I couldn't live without my Instant Pot. I use it constantly, and every Sunday night I drop in a dozen eggs so my husband and I have a week's worth of healthy snacks. The only problem with this method is that they don't cook evenly, and some are more done while others are still a tad undercooked. This steamer trivet ensures that each one is perfectly cooked.These Tiny Rubber People That Help You Out Of So Many Jams
Everyone could use a helpful little blue man around the house. These tiny rubber people can be used a variety of different ways, such as propping open a pot lid, holding up your cellphone, and providing a spot to rest your chopsticks, just to name a few.

You know how I feel about utensils that go above and beyond the call of duty, and this spoon definitely fits into that category.

I love using this when I'm making soup since I use the spoon to simmer and stir ingredients and the ladle to serve.This Dog Water Bottle That Keeps Pets Hydrated On-The-Go
While I'm originally from the Twin Cities, I've lived in Wisconsin since college, and travel back to Minnesota several times throughout the year.

This portable pup water bottle makes it way easier to keep her hydrated while traveling so we have one less thing to worry about.This Ionic Air Freshener That Takes Your Car From Funky To Fresh
Speaking of a high-energy dog and a baby sharing a car, those 5-hour-long trips start to smell less than fresh about an hour into our journey. After giving my sister-in-law a ride one day, she gave me one of these ionic air fresheners, which releases negative ions into the air to freshen it and kill bad-smelling bacteria. While I was slightly offended, it was one of the best gifts I've received in a while.The Handy Scraper That Gets Into Every Nook And Cranny
Do you ever find yourself trying to clean some grime out of a tiny crevice and wishing you had a tool made just for the job? That's exactly what led to the Handy Scraper's existence.

Thank goodness I read about this Buband no-bound band on a Mommy blog, which adds extra support so you can run, jog, or even tap dance comfortably.This Cool Gadget That Turns Any Bag Into An Easy-Pour Container
I have this horrible habit of letting my brown sugar turn into a solid block after just one or two uses.

Not only does it keep stuff fresh, but it makes it super easy to pour and measure ingredients.This Dispenser Kit That Keeps Your Soap From Running Out
I recently had the brilliant idea to save money by buying a giant container of hand soap and refilling our dispensers every time they run out.

This dispenser kit gives me the gift of everlasting soap. And I couldn't be happier about it.This Sneaker Wash and Dry Bag That Keeps Your Kicks Looking (And Smelling) Fresh

This wash-and-dry sneaker bag lets you throw your kicks into the washer and air dry them easily. I seriously love this thing.This Scalp Massager That Feels Incredible
I live in the midwest, and the air gets insanely dry every winter. This means that my scalp itches from early November until roughly the end of March.
